  1. Do you have enough tension on the blade? I don't use this saw but my first guess would be the tension being to loose.

    Hello

    welcome to the village Loyd
  3. looking good Steve, practice practice you'll soon be whizzing around the turns. Brett would you mind posting the pattern in the library too, for others to find later?
  4. I keep all my patterns stored on my computer, and backed up in a external hard drive. For the patterns I have purchased they are kept in a large folder as well as on the computer. They are put into several catagories, portrait animals, native american, religion and so on. Each folder sometimes has sub folders. Then when needed I print one out. For larger patterns like intarsia, I scan each section of the pattern into my computer, then print each piece out and put together. The originals never get used. I keep a "to cut" stack in my shop which rarely seems to get any smaller.

    Hi all

    Hi Mark and welcome to the village. We would love to see some of your work. You can create a user gallery. Here is a [tut]tutorial[/tut] explaning how.
  6. Hi Tim,Welcome to the village. congrats on the new saw. If you have any questions just ask away.
  7. great job, I like the finish you chose.
  8. Don't sell yourself short Steve. It's a great start. The biggest thing is to keep going and don't give up. The more you use the saw the better you'll get. You will be surprised in the difference of the fd blades. I 've made several pieces of designer firewood when i started and still do once in a while. keep making sawdust. you'll be an expert before long.
  9. welcome to the village Mike.
  10. great cutting, thanks for sharing
  11. excellent job. It should be a hit at the fair.
  12. congrats Mike. I hope you do well. I took a look and it looks great.
  13. I use spray satin finish, and spray poly for my finish on my portaits and scrollings.
  14. Hi Crystal. welcome to the village. if you need help just ask someone will help out. check out the pattern library, lots of great patterns in there.
  15. Hi Marco,welcome to the village. if you have any questions just ask. there are a lot of friendly people here.
  16. thanks for the comments Susie. My friend I showed it to before I sent it to the customer said the same thing about a gun.
  17. thanks Helen. It made my day when he called.
  18. They look great. I like the hands. The shape of the plaque adds to them.
  19. looks great, I'm sure she loved it.
  20. looks great, I like the scrap bin idea, and the beverage holder
  21. The customer recieved it tonight. He called me to tell me he loved it, said he was going to send an email but had to tell me personally. His wife absolutely loved it. He wants another one made soon but a little bigger.
  22. thanks all. grampa he gave strict instructions to keep an eye on you
  23. No, you shouldn't post patterns that aren't yours. copyright laws are a sticky subject.
  24. count me in Dale. Email has ben sent. Is this for ornaments or for anything we've made?
  25. the only thing I can think of without seeing the book myself is 3/8 thick. as far as backing some people use colored felt, it comes in many colors and can be bought pretty cheap. mirrors are not hard to cut, you just need a good glass cutter and a straight edge.
